Selfish parking..

I live in a street with too few spaces for the amount of cars, generally speaking, you can't park near your house after 6pm. Most of the time there's at least 2 muppets who will park in the middle of 2 spaces.

I've often thought I should get 2 Smart cars so I can block them in..

No, thats not the case here, the cars usually in the same place the next morning, sometimes its there for days on end, which is even worse..

I`ve also thought about printing off a load of non peelable stickers saying "thanks for parking like a c**t"

What really gets me are the pricks who think parking bays don't apply to them at shops!

To posh to park

They park on the Cross hatches at the end because god forbid they'd have to walk a few extra feet, or park right outside the shop, opposite perfectly good, empty parking spaces.

Pricks!

My street has normal kerbside parking, but because theres driveways, the kerbs are divided into runs that will fit a certain number of cars. As soon a 1 person parks in 1 badly, it reduces that run by 1 space.

I`ve got CCTV, I sometimes look to see what the orders been to see what the order is & if there's a reason why the initial parker parked badly. There's rarely any reason, other than poor positioning, i.e. leaving a 10` gap between their car & the end of the parking run.

People who park diagonally across two or even three spaces in supermarkets have me raging, they're usually the same idle twats who just leave their trolley in the middle of the car park after they've finished instead of putting it back too

My car parks itself. It freaks me out when it confidently indicates it can gets in the smallest of spaces for such a big car. The robots are taking over.

It’s a god send in these turbulent times.

We have had the same problem in the past. A printed sticker saying 'please don't park here again' on the windscreen does the trick. Not just any old sticker, but one that is really difficult to peel off.

Someone parked blocking my drive the other night. I left a note on the windscreen but half expected to find it wrapped around a dog turd and shoved through the letter box. I didn't though. Life is sweet!

Know it well..... the really obnoxious one who can only park directly outside their own house ...and as a result leaves a 10' gap to the next car!
